Anybody feel like they have less love/motivation/immersion in video games? Been a pro now for 6 months and I can't even get into video games on my day(s) off. WTF.. I feel like a workaholic to some degree.

Yeah I use to play Warcrack, but now I rarely login. There's no money to be made in Warcraft so what's the point IMO. Just another form of grind.

yes every time i play video games i feel a bit quilty (unless im drinking) bc of the opportunity cost. esp. now once the uni started again quality grinding time is limited.

I have had some great fun playing video games, and now that I play poker a lot, I still enjoy them, and even try to learn poker-based lessons from them if possible.

Like, if you play FIFA with your Poker buddies, and get to Penalty Shootout, then you can get a good idea of whether they can figure out the GTO Strategy in a zero-sum game like Penalty shootout in Soccer lol.
